But one word... amazing😍 more fotos coming from the gopro of emilie😏 Day 1 We started with 2 other people and emilie. We had dry weather and making the beginning to the first lunch stop. Men oh men what was this hard. I thought realy im not gonna make it to the top. Afther a climb of 3 hours we had a great lunch. Changed my clothes and going on the the base camp. Its goes slowly step by step and drink a lot of water. It was very cloudy but so amazong beatiful and i was so grateful that it was dry and cloudy. Because if i saw the top it was much harder i guess.. At 5 oclock we arrived finaly to the basecamp. the carriers arrived 10 min later. Much respect for them. They take 40 kg on their shoulder upto the mountain with their fliplops. Crazy but wow. At 6 we had a beautiful sunset and all the clouds going away. The view from our tent was realy realy beautiful❤❤no words for it. Afther the amazing dinner i go fast to sleep because my alarm was on 2 o clock in the night. Im gonna clim the rinjani mountain!!!

Day 2

this is gonna be a long day At 2 in the night goes my alarm. The sky was full of stars and i could see the rinjani already waiting for me. Drink a cupp of thea a lets go. It was middle in the night but it was so nice to walk in the dark but so strange. We coulnd see anything and walked step by step with my light up to the top. My mussles were hurting a lot but i took it step by step. While we walking to the top i learned a lot about myself. Take your time and very important taking your own tempo!! When i feel i need a break i took it. That was very importa t. No rush!! How more it gets lighter how more beautiful the view was. It was incredible no words for it!! Realy. It was hard, funny, emotional, mindfucking and you dont believe wat your body is capable for. 

The last 300 meters to the top where the hardest. It was very sandy and steep....incredible. Ten steps break and this repeting again nd again. At 6:15 we arrived at the top with very clear weather!! I was so happy and gratefull that i made it and this moment was amazing. I couldnt stop keep smiling. The group on the top feels ya and everyone is happy. Enjoyed the view for couple min and go back for breakfast and the other tour. 

Its gonna be a long day. Going down going so much faster. It was amazing that i now could see what i walked. It was pretty scary but so amazing. On my way back there were a lot of people who gived up. In the high season started every day 500 people and 200 gets to the top. Can you imagine how hard it is. Afther my breakfast i take some rest and make myself for the other 6 hours hike haha wouw 12 hours hiking in a day. But and the and there was a hotspring waiting and a great lunch and bed. It was realyrealy hard!! Its going about changing your mindset the whole time. Everytime it was in the beginning very hard but afther a while my body and mind were in balance. Controle your mind the whole time!! 

On our way down it raind a lot but i didnt care anymore because the moment on the top was the most beautiful what i ever saw!!!❤❤ So much fun i the rain but so hard on the same time because it was going down and down. I walked already for hours. 

Ones arrived at the natural hotsprings was ssooo nice and hot😍😍 the water was 28 degrees. Afther a rainy day was that all what i need. My mussles also🙈😱 Afther that was it still 3 hours climbing and climbing. This was for me the hardest part and i took it very slowly. The guide was very sweet and walked in the same tempo as me. We had a nice chat about the culture and about things in life. Very interesting and it helped me A lot to the place were we stayed. Ones arrived i go straight to my tent a teak a nap. Afther dinner 7 clock i go to sleep. Tommorow last day only down for 6 hours!🏔 

Day 3

Ohh this was amazing. I had a sleep of 8 hours and i realy needed that. At 6 oclock we waked up with the sunrise eat some breakfast and walked at 7 down. We had very good weather in the beginning and afther that a lot of rain. Was very happy with my waterproof back a the less clothes i had with me. I was happy that thiz was the last day and my mind going easy down but my body protesting the whole time. Cramp in my legs an toes. It was very slippery but very funny somethimes. Afther all this. Im so happy that i do this hike and appreaciate the things i life more. The nature is so beautiful and free. Its all about the simple things in life. 3 days no shower, going hard parts together and still we enjoyed our time together as a team. Thankyou men (our guide) and especialy our carriers that take our tents, food etc❤) you were amazing!!
